第一节(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
Raised in a fatherless home, my father was extremely tightfisted towards us children. His attitude didn’t soften as I grew into adulthood and went to college. I had to ride the bus whenever I came home. Though the bus stopped about two miles from home, Dad never met me, even in sever weather. If I grumbled, he’d say in his loudest father-voice, “That’s what your legs are for!”
23. The author’s father watched behind the hedge because ______.
A. he was concerned about his son’s safety
B. he wanted to help his son build up courage
The walk didn’t bother me as much as the fear of walking alone along the highway and country roads. I also felt less than valued that my father didn’t seem concerned about my safety. But that feeling was canceled one spring evening.

I guess there must be something wrong. You’d better have it checked out.W: You are right. I’ll do that later.3M: What’s the noise? It sounds as if it’s coming from next door. The Nelsons aren’t back yet, are they?W: I don’t think so. It must be the window-cleaner working upstairs.4M: I think there’s a mistake in our bill. We didn’t have dinner here last night.W: I’m sorry, sir. Here is the bill from the hotel restaurant. It’s got your signature on it.M: But that’s not my signature. I’d like to speak to the manager.5W: Good morning, Mr. Smith. I hope I’m not disturbing your work.M: Not at all, Mary. Come in and take a seat. I’m always in my office before lunch.W: I want to tell you that I have already started writing my paper and I’d like to discuss my topic with you.M: Of course. What would you like to work on?6M: This car goes from 0 to 60 in only 5 seconds. Not bad for something built in the old USA!W: Hmm, I usually don’t buy American. How do I know that this is going to be more reliable than something that’s made in Germany?M: Listen, ma’am,I’ve been driving a Ford for the past 20 years, and I mean the same Ford! These are the best in the business. I’m telling you.W: But is it safe?M: Well, that depends on how fast you want to drive!W: What?M: I’m just kidding. That was a joke! Seriously, though, the safety ratings are at the top of its class.I can show you the latest Consumer Reports if you want.W: No, that’s OK. I appreciate your time. I think I’m going to keep looking, though.M: All right. Let me know if I can help.7M: Hello, may I speak to Mr. Or Mrs. Baker, please?W: This is Mrs. Baker speaking.M: Hello, Mrs. Baker, this is Mr. Chin, Timothy’s English teacher. I’m calling because Timothy is struggling in English.W: He isn’t doing well? This is really upsetting. He must study h arder. I will talk to him about that immediately.M: Actually, I’m calling to offer my assistance. Timothy is already working hard in class, but he needs some extra help. If he could stay after class on Mondays and Wednesdays, I’d be able to help him improve. Would it be OK for him to stay after school on those days?W: Definitely. Thank you so much for offering help! I will talk to Timothy today and he’ll startstaying after school next week. Thank you for your concern!M: It’s my pleasure. I enjoy having Timothy in my class.8M: Debbie, I’m sorry to have to say this, but this lateness really can’t go on, you know?W: Oh, no, not again.M: What do you mean by that?W: Well, you’re always going on at me and I’m never more than five minutes late.M: Late is late, my girl! And if you don’t change your ways, I’m afraid I shall have to let you go. W: Let me go? Must you always put things the wrong way round? What you mean is you’ll fire me!M: Will you please stop being so aggressive and so cheeky?W: Oh, why don’t you shut up?M: Really! Debbie ... I never thought you’d... what you do you think you’re doing now?W: Doing? I’m getting my things together. That’s what I’m doing. There’s no need for you to fire me, Mr. Steiner. I resign!9W: How’s your computer c ourse going?M: Well, I’ve just had my class, actually. We have it twice a week and each one lasts two hours. W: That’s too long. Doesn’t it get boring?M: Well, you need that long to actually do a whole document. I can do all sorts of things on my computer that I never knew before.W: I can’t say the same for my cookery course.M: Oh, why not? I thought you were enjoying it.W: It’s enjoyable enough, but we just don’t seem to make much progress. We spent the whole of last week’s lesson learning how to fry an egg.M: So how often is it?W: Just once a week, for an hour and a half. It’s making cakes next week.M: Oh, that sounds fun.W: Yeah. I’m looking forward to it. I wanted to ask you something, actually. Have you learnt how to send e-mails on your cours e yet? I can’t get my computer to send them properly, and I was wondering if you’d show me how it’s done.M: Well, if you bring me one of your cakes, I suppose I could try.W: Great, well, when I’ve made them.10I don’t often lose things and I’m especiall y careful with money, so I was quite surprised when I reached for my wallet to pay for my dinner and it wasn’t there. At first, I thought it was possible that I could have left it at home. Then I remembered taking it out to pay for the taxi, so I knew I had it with me just before I walked into the restaurant. I wondered if it was possible that it could have slipped out of my pocket while I was eating dinner. Thinking about that possibility, I turned and walked back to the table where I had been sitting.Unfortunately, there were several other people sitting at the table at the time, so I called a waiter and explained to him that my wallet had fallen out of my pocket while I was sitting at the table a few minutes earlier. I had the waiter go over to the table to see if my wallet was on the floor. While the waiter was looking for it, the manager came up to me and asked me if anythingwas wrong. I didn’t want to get a lot of people involved in the problem, but I knew I had to get the wallet back. I told the manger what had happened. He had me describe the wallet to him, and then he insisted that I report it to the police. I told him that I didn’t want to set the police involved in it. Besides, I was in a hurry because I had an appointment with my doctor in just a few minutes. I explained to him that my biggest worry at the moment was how I was going to pay the check. He told me not to worry about that. He had me write down my name and address. And he said he would send me the bill.。

AI have many wonderful memories of my days as a circus clown (马戏团小丑), but there is one day that I would rather forget: July 6, 1944. We were playing a two-day stand in Hartford, Connecticut, and the big top caught fire.I could hear grandstand chairs slamming inside the tent as people headed toward the exits. Some were jumping twelve feet from the top rows of the grandstand and seats to the ground outside. Most of the crowd was pouring through the regular exits and it soon became a panic.In the midst of this scene the musicians had kept on playing until the tent was on fire over-headbecause they knew music sometimes might work wonder; they had jumped off the bandstand just before a flaming quarter-pole fell into their stand.City fire equipment had arrived by now and was pouring streams of water onto the big top area to cool it enough for firemen to enter. In the smoke and confusion, it was impossible to tell whether or not anyone might have been left in the tent. We circus people were ordered away from the smoking ruins that, only a few minutes before, had been the biggest spread of canvas in the world.I went outside; doctors, and first-aid workers were everywhere, carrying bodies from where the grandstands and seats had been. The toll (伤亡人数) of dead and dying increased so fast that emergency crews were called in from surrounding cities.Later it was found that 168 people had died in the fire —the worst circus disaster in history, and an afternoon of horror I can never forget.21.The musicians kept playing during the fire probably because they ________.A.thought the fire was in another tentB.knew nothing about the terrible fireC.wanted to keep the crowd from panickingD.believed the show should go on whatever happened22.Why were emergency crews from other cities called in?A. There were too many victims to deal with.B. Fire equipment in the city was not enough.C. Too many people were left in the tent waiting.D. The circus people were unwilling to do the rescue work.23. Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?A. A Journey to DeathB. The Day the Big Top BurnedC. Memories as a circus clownD. The Worst Disaster in Human HistoryBIn a new look at the impact of long-time sitting behavior on health, a new study links time watching television to an increased risk of death. One of the most surprising f indings is that it isn’t just couch potatoes who were affected. Even for people who exercised regularly, the risk of death went up the longer they were in front of the TV. The problem was the long periods of time spent sitting still.Australian researchers who tracked 8,800 people for an average of six years found that those who said they watched TV for more than four hours a day were 46% more likely to die of any cause and 80% more likely to die of cardiovascular (心血管的) disease than people who reported spending less than two hours a day in front of TV.Time spent in front of TVs and computers and videogames has come under fire in studies in recent years for contributing to a spread of obesity in the US and around the world. But typically the resulting public-health message urges children and adults to put down the Xbox controller and remote and get on a treadmill (跑步机) or a soccer field.The Australian s tudy offers a different view. “It’s not the sweaty type of exercise we’re losing,” says David Dunstan, a researcher at Baker IDI Heart and Diabetes Institute, Melbourne, who led the study. “It’s the incidental moving around, standing up and using muscles. That doesn’t happen when we are plunked on a couch in front of a television.”Indeed, participants in the study reported getting between 30 and 45 minutes of exercise a day, on average.The results are supported by a new field of research that shows how long periods of inactivity can affect the body’s processing of fats and other substances that contribute to heart risk. And they suggest that people can help decrease such risk simply by avoiding extended periods of sitting.”Keeping such processes working more effectively doesn’t require constant intense exercise, but consciously adding more routine movement to your life might help, doctors say. “Just standing is better than sitting,” says Gerard Fletcher, a cardiologist at Mayo Clinic, Jacksonville, Fla., who works standing up at his computer. “When you stand up, you shuffle around a little bit and u se muscles not required when you are sitting or lying down.”Simple strategies for increasing activity include combining household chores such as folding laundry with TV-watching time or getting up to change a TV channel rather than using a remote control.The report, published Tuesday in the American Heart Association journal Circulation, focuses on TV watching in part because it is the main leisure-time activity in many countries, researchers said, especially in the US.24.One misunderstanding people might have is that ________.A. the radiation from TV may badly affect your sightB. TV programs can broaden your horizons effectivelyC. watching TV very long is a good way to kill timeD. regular exercise can minimize the side effect of watching TV25. What is new about the discovery of the Australian study?A. Remote control shouldn’t be used when people watch TV.B. People who watch TV too long should take more physical exercise.C. Sitting too long in front of TV will lead to high risk of heart attack.D. Long-time sitting is bad for all people including those who exercise regularly.26. According to the Australian study, how can the risk of death be reduced when people watch TV?A. By increasing simple movement.B. By totally avoiding watching TV.C. By taking some medicine.D. By increasing sweaty type of exercise.CDuring the past three hundred years, when a country gains its freedom or independence, one of the first things established is a national anthem (国歌). National anthems are generally played and sung at formal state occasions and other events which celebrate or support the country’s national identity.Holland’s 16th-century hymn (songs of prayer typically addressed to God) “Het Wilhelmus” is widely considered the world’s oldest national anthem, followed by the U.K.’s “God Save the King/Queen” —also a hymn, popularized in the 1740s. As nationalism spread throughout Europe in the 18th and 19th centuries, so did anthems. Many countries, such as the independent states that are today part of Germany, took “God Save the King/Queen” as a model and adopted hymns. Others, especially Spain and France, chose marches (songs with a strong, regular rhythm often performed by army bands). With imperialism (扩张主义), Europeans spread their musical taste. Even when former colonies gained independence, they often imitated the traditions of their former rulers. The result is that most anthems are either hymns or marches, played on European instruments.Japan’s anthem makes for a good case study of European influence. In the 1860s a British conductor living in Japan, John William Fenton, noted that the country did not have a national anthem. A local officer, Ōyama Iwao,selected the lyrics (歌词) from an ancient poem and Fenton wrote the melody (旋律). About a decade later, a Japanese committee chose a replacement melody by a court musician —one that had been composed for traditional Japanese instruments, but in a mixed style influenced by Fenton’s arrangement. The version in use today was also adapted by German Franz Eckert to fit a Western scale (音阶).In addition to hymns and marches, British composer Michael Bristow identifies a couple of more minor categories. National anthems in South and Central America are often operatic, with long, complicated orchestral introductions. These were influenced by 19th-century Italian opera. Burma and Sri Lanka are both in a folk group, as they rely more on traditional instruments.27. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a basis to write national anthems?A. Prayer songs.B. Marching songs.C. Italian opera music.D. Movie theme music.28. What is the second paragraph mainly about?A. The function of national anthems.B. The world’s oldest national anthem.C. The origin and spread of national anthems.D. Reasons why many countries have national anthems.29. What can we learn about Japan’s national anthem?A. It was not written until the 20th century.B. The lyrics were written by a Japanese officer.C. The melody was first written by a British musician.D. The current version is hardly influenced by western music.30. What can be inferred about the influence of European imperialism on national anthems?A. Human rights are a common theme in national anthems.B. National anthems of some countries share similar musical features.C. Many national anthems were chosen by ruling European countries.D. Local traditions were ignored in the composition of national anthems.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
